[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never heard of it, so I guess it is not something pushed by all schools.[/quote] That must be it. [/quote] My DC was a Gold Key recipient in several categories, and won a Silver Medal at the National level some years ago. This is a very prestigious and very old competition, even if you have never heard of it. I believe the Scholastic Awards were founded back in 1923, and notable alumni recipients include Sylvia Plath, Joyce Carol Oates, Richard Avedon, Andy Warhol, John Updike, Truman Capote, Lena Dunham, Zac Posen, Cy Twombly, Stephen King, Richard Linklater, among others. The schools do not push participation, as students pursue this themselves. In the case of my DC, the school did not know they were submitting their writings until they sought out a teacher signature for some purpose. These are self-motivated, talented students.[/quote]
